Multi-exciton generation by multi-photon absorption under low-energy photons can be thought a reasonable method to reduce the risk of optical damage, especially in photoelectric quantum dot (QD) devices. The lifetime of the multi-exciton state plays a key role in the utilization of photon-induced carriers, which depends on the dynamics of the exciton generation process in materials. In this paper, the exciton generation dynamics of the photon absorption under low-frequency light in CdSe QDs are successfully detected and studied by the temporal resolution transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy method. Since the cooling time of hot excitons extends while the rate of auger recombination is accelerated when incident energy is increased, the filling time of defect states is irregular, and exciton generation experiences a transition from single-photon absorption to multi-photon absorption. This result shows how to change the excitation. Optical parameters can prolong the lifetime of excitons, thus fully extracting excitons and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of QD optoelectronic devices, which provides theoretical and experimental support for the development of QD optoelectronic devices.

Label-free detection of biological events at single-cell resolution in the brain can non-invasively capture brain status for medical diagnosis and basic neuroscience research. NADH is an universal coenzyme that not only plays a central role in cellular metabolism but may also be used as a biomarker to capture metabolic processes in brain cells and structures. We have developed a new label-free, multiphoton photoacoustic microscope (LF-MP-PAM) with a near-infrared femtosecond laser to observe endogenous NAD(P)H in living cells.

Single- and multi-photon absorption cross-sections quantify the likelihood that a material will absorb one or more photons at a given wavelength. This critical parameter is fundamental to understanding light-matter interactions that underpin key applications in spectroscopy, photochemistry and advanced imaging techniques like multi-photon microscopy and deep tissue imaging. Conventional methods for measuring absorption cross-sections are often limited by sensitivity to sample morphology, type, concentration, and high excitation intensities - factors that can compromise reliability, increase experimental complexity, and risk sample damage.

Direct application of near-infrared (NIR) light for solar-thermal and solar-chemical conversions is of emergent interest to improving efficiency in solar-energy utilization. Herein, we report a synthetic approach to NIR-responsive materials by self-assembly of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOF-1/2/3) from multifunctionalized Ru-components incorporating chiral, photoactive, H-bonding, π-stacking, and protonation/deprotonation subunits. Significantly, protonation of the imidazole-subunits in HOF-3 promotes densified packing to extend NIR absorption tail up to 1100 nm with a narrowed bandgap of 1.

We present a novel approach to achieving intrinsic optical bistability and multistability through the interplay between saturable and reverse saturable absorption. Our findings reveal that the stable points on the optical bistability curve align with the switching points of intensity-dependent nonlinear absorption. By analyzing the optical properties of a four-level cascade quantum system, we demonstrate that these switching behaviors can be triggered by applying laser fields to induce nonlinear absorption.

We report photodissociation processes and spectral measurements upon photoabsorption of size-selected cationic silver clusters, Ag, stored in an ion trap. The experiment shows that small clusters ( ≲ 15) dissociate upon one-photon absorption, whereas larger ones require multiple photons up to five in the present study. The emergence of multi-photon processes is attributed to collisional cooling in the presence of a buffer helium gas in the trap, which competes with size-dependent dissociation rates.
